The question is - who is not FTP/Stars pro these days?
Every donkament one hit wonder is signed by them.Don't even have to win it, just to be a loud mouth chip leader at some point....

To be fair though, Jon & Scott are the anti-Rain Khan. They both did several interviews with Cardplayer during the tourney and they came off as super humble nice guys. Not having seen them play on TV, I can't say what their table image is like though. I know what you're saying though. When the new WPT season airs on tv, FT will have Jon on 2 final tables and Scott on 1.

still what kind of nonsense is this, i'll take a sponsorship, it doesnt make ftp better if every one playing at all the tables have red names lol, most of these players gen population has no idea about nor cares and its just weird

Never met Scott Clements but J little is awesome.
Really nice guy , sick good player. He's a pretty well respect online player and this year is crushing live tournies.

Re: New FTP Pros -
 
I agree it is kind of funny. It was kind of sad because Scott was sitting at a $5/$10 O8 table by himself and not getting any action. (Compared to say earlier when Phil Gordon decided to play $1/$2 razz and had 15 on the waiting list)

Funniest thing I've seen is Lee Watkinson playing a 50FTP SNG super sattelite to one of the FTOPs.

I take offense to that, as I'm not a loud mouth and I haven't won a god damn thing.

Jon Little is exactly the kind of person and player you'd want representing your site.

Who would not want 100% Rakeback and $35/hr? Jon Little is a legend, does not seem to be a nicer more humble guy out there.

I agree. I briefly talked to him when he sat at my table and he was friendly, and from what I've seen from other posts here and in interviews he's humble and a real class act.

Congrats again Jon.

Clements is all business... I remember when he won his bracelet last year ('06) and was doing photos with the money/chips/bracelet, we (the photographers) literally could not even get a smile out of him. It was like he was already thinking about the next tournament.

At least FTP is hiring real pros.
Stars on the other hand is getting ridiculous with signing just about anyone that was playing the WSOP ME and was shown on TV.
Any random dude you saw on TV in Rio this summer is on the PS team now.
I think they even might start hiring the railtards next year.

I'd pay to see a LuckyJimm Pokerstars commercial about railtarding one's way to greatness.

Although he is definitely the man, I disagree.

Who would join a site because some quiet, good player plays there?

It could be a good investment just because he is more likely than average to win something huge, but in general, I don't think hes going to bring any new players to FTP or generate them a ton more rake from games forming around him.

Re: New FTP Pros -
 
I hae been sitting at super random games, like .25/.5 nl, 1/2 limit and 3/6 horse just to see if a game will form and every game has filled in like 2 minutes. Scott is very similar to myself, in that he has no desire to get up and act like a total idiot on tv. I guess we would rather our results speak for ourselves. I hope many of the other poker players similar to myself get these deals, as I feel like we desreve them quite a bit more than the randoms that get on tv and yell a lot. Id like to thank everyone for the support. It means a lot. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: New FTP Pros -
 
To clarify - i never said Little and Clemens are loud mouth one hit wonders (i never met them, saw Little only once at PCA FT), was merely talking about the general direction this "pro signing" is taking.

Like Stars signing Minieri, Khan, Rahme etc...And FTP is basically snatching anyone who isn't still signed by others and got some tv time...

Yes, it was so fun to play NL100 with him when he bought in for $20, folded every hand for 2 orbits and then left.

the guy makes lots of tv appearances from going deep so often, why not sign him on the basis he will be a living, playing billboard?

Re: New FTP Pros -
 
I have enjoyed the recent signings by FT, from what i have seen and heard there new pros tend to be good upstanding citizens. Despite the fact that I already had good knowledge of these players and new where/how to find them if they were playing on FT, It makes it easier for the general public whom arent addicts, to find these pros, and learn from watching. The futures for John Little and Scott Clements will only go up over the next few years.
